My thoughts:

My head spins reading billion after billion in non accountable projects that are not going to accomplish anything. They would never pass muster in a real business. When the government mentions investment of any kind, grab your wallet and run. Remember Solyndra?

So, only about $500B of the 2.5 trillion “Infrastructure” bill is actually going to Infrastructure?

This might as well be called the “Green Deal and Reparations Act”, because that’s where the majority (4/5) of this money is going.

Most of that spending is pure graft!
